calendar to remind you to create a group ecard

You never have to forget a major event ever again. For real.

We've all been there. That realization that it's your mom's birthday or Bosses Day, or your coworker's work anniversary—and you've forgotten. Sure, an online group card can be a rapid solution, but we take it even one step further because we'll help you make sure you never forget that day ever again by setting up a group ecard reminder.

Set Group Ecard Reminders with Kudoboard

Kudoboard now allows you to set up a calendar of reminders within your Kudoboard profile. Plug in the date of a special occasion, and we'll email you a "Create Your Kudoboard" link seven days in advance. You'll impress everyone with your thoughtfulness and be on top of every special occasion in your life.

Simply log in to your Kudoboard account, click the calendar icon, and add any special dates you need to remember (birthdays, work anniversaries, holidays, etc.). It will take 3 minutes and save you HOURS of headaches in the next year.

Get started with your reminders here.

5 Reasons Why Ecards Rock

Along with the awesome new addition of reminders, ecards have many other benefits! The days of stale paper cards are over. Paper cards are often not very personal. See the reasons why e-cards are the best below.

They are personal! Ecards are amazing because you can add pictures, videos, fun memories, gifs, and more to make the card super personal.
Ecards are appropriate for any occasion and anyone! Virtual cards are great because you can make them for anyone; from a happy couple getting married to your favorite boss retiring, e-cards are the way to go.
It's easy to add collaborators. Group ecards make it easy for people to contribute, all you have to do is add their email to send the invite, and they can add any message they want!
Ecards are affordable! Ecards are highly affordable, sometimes more than a paper card. Many free options for ecards (including the mini Kudoboard!) still allow collaborators. Once you factor in gas money, time spent picking out the card, the cost of the card, and stamp, ecards are the better option.
Ecards last forever! The final reason why virtual cards are fantastic is that they last forever! Not only can the recipient view the card whenever they want, kudoboards can also be printed in book form.

If you have an upcoming reason to celebrate someone, try sending a virtual card! Get others involved and send a group ecard that the recipient will love. Don't forget to utilize the group ecard reminder feature!

Thanks, and keep delivering happiness,
The Kudoboard Team

Turn Your Kudoboard Into a Book

December 8, 2021November 1, 2022 Danica Holdaway

Throughout the 90s my mom scrapbooked—hard. I mean we were going to abandoned warehouses to find rare stamps and stickers at pop-up shops, and regularly heading to the craft store for custom paper and special edging scissors. Today, the idea of scrapbooking is pretty outdated, but there’s definitely still a need for physical keepsakes of the important moments in our lives.

We kept hearing the same feedback from our happy Kudoboard users—they loved their board so much and wanted to be able to print it for a permanent keepsake. Your wish is our command!

Smaller teams/businesses (100 coworkers and under) occasionally email us asking whether the Premium Package or Business Plan is best for their use case. The simplest answer:

If you want any of the following...

unlimited boards
more than 1 Kudoboard creator
custom board backgrounds & branding
advanced administrative/privacy controls
all the bells & whistles

...go with a Kudoboard business plan. Otherwise, a Premium Package will save you money.

It can be difficult to choose, but either way Kudoboard is money well spent and your employees will love getting recognized with a special eCard made just for them.

For a different way to look at it, here is a decision tree to explain our thinking around which Kudoboard option to choose:

Take Advantage of our Free Group eCards

If you have never tried Kudoboard before, now is a great time! The mini board is free and a great option to try out Kudoboard's amazing features.

A Kudoboard is the best way to gather a group of people and give them one place to show appreciation. A group of coworkers can have a central location to upload photos, videos, and messages for the person you want to show appreciation for. Instead of passing a paper card around the office, create an online group card with Kudoboard! Some perfect occasions for a Kudoboard are:

Welcome to the Team
Birthdays
Work anniversaries
Weddings
Loss of a loved one
Thank You
Birth of a child
Retirement

As you can see, Kudoboard offers free group eCards for any occasion. It is likely that you know someone with a special occasion coming up, whether it be a birthday or anniversary, Kudoboard is a great choice.

To get started, go to Kudoboard and click "create a kudoboard." From there, you will enter in the required information (nothing crazy, just the recipient's name, the occasion, etc.). Next, you can start creating your board! Adding posts is simple, and you can add any type of media you want (gifs, videos, or pictures). Kudoboard also allows adding contributors easily by offering four different ways to share the eCard (QR code, email, direct link, or social media). To add cocntributors, just click the "add contributors" button at the top of the board. Finally, schedule a delivery date for the eCard and click send!

Thanks for letting Kudoboard play a small part in celebrating with you!
